Get Your Car Summer-Ready with These Essential Tips!
Summer’s finally started to show up and that means it’s time to prepare your car for those sunny drives and weekend getaways. Getting your car summer-ready not only ensures a smooth journey but also keeps you safe and comfortable. Here are some handy tips to get your vehicle in top shape for the warmer months.
1. Cool Off with a Properly Working AC
Picture this: you’re driving through the countryside with the sun shining and your air conditioning decides to quit. Avoid this scenario by having your AC system checked. If it’s blowing warm air or making odd noises, it’s time for a check-up. Our PMG Service Centres can ensure your AC is blowing ice-cold air all summer long​.
2. Keep Fluids Topped Up
Your car’s fluids are its lifeblood, especially in the heat. Make sure your coolant is at the right level to prevent overheating. Don’t forget about the oil, brake fluid, and transmission fluid too. If you’re unsure how to check these, a professional service is your best bet.
3. Tire Check Time
Hot weather can wreak havoc on your tyres. Ensure they’re properly inflated to avoid blowouts and check the tread for any signs of wear. If you’re due for a rotation or need new tyres, proper maintenance ensures better fuel efficiency and safer driving​.
4. Swap Out Those Windshield Wipers
Summer showers are no joke, and driving with streaky, ineffective wipers is a recipe for disaster. If your wipers are looking worse for wear, it’s time to replace them. Clear visibility is key to safe driving.
5. Battery Boost
Your car battery works harder in the summer heat. Have it checked to make sure it’s in good health. If you notice any corrosion on the terminals or if it’s been a few years, it might be time for a replacement. Better safe than sorry​.
6. Park Smart and Use Sunshades
Whenever possible, park your car in the shade to protect the paint and keep the interior cool. A sunshade can also do wonders in keeping the temperature down inside your car, so you don’t feel like you’re stepping into an oven.
7. Keep It Clean
A clean car is a happy car! Regular washes will protect the paint from the sun and remove any pesky bird droppings or tree sap.
